Curbside Motors

I bought a used Toyota Solara from this dealership on June 1st, 2025. I was told the car had been inspected by their in-house mechanic and had no issues, or at least none they were aware of. Since it’s an older vehicle, I wasn’t expecting perfection, but I did expect it to be safe to drive. Just four days later, I took it for a third-party inspection. What my mechanic found was not just disappointing, it was dangerous: • No functioning brakes — no brake pads at all, and the rotors were worn way below safety speak • Slipping transmission with black fluid and large metal debris • Severely leaking radiator • Leaking oil pan gasket • Worn suspension (control arms and sway bar links) • Completely missing window regulator and motor on the driver's side — the glass was held up by a single screw The mechanic literally asked how I made it to his shop alive. He said any competent technician would have caught these obvious issues. Which means either their in-house mechanic was incompetent, or the dealership knowingly sold me a dangerous vehicle. I accept that it was naive to trust the salesperson without getting my own inspection first — but this goes beyond optimism. This was negligent and potentially criminal. They let this car onto Washington public roads for test drives, fully aware that it was unsafe. Someone could have been killed. When I raised the issue with Steve Guiberson, who said he was part of management, he questioned why I didn’t tow the car back to them for repairs. I may be naïve, but I’m not stupid. I wouldn’t trust the same people who sold me a deathtrap to fix it, how am I supposed to have faith in your business after you let this vehicle leave your lot in such a condition. Unless you have the time, money, and skills to completely rehab a used car, avoid this dealership at all costs. And if you still consider buying from them, get a third-party inspection before you even test drive, because they clearly don’t disclose critical safety issues.

Knowageable and friendly salesman and the rest of the staff were all helpful and polite

Curbside motors went above and beyond to help me get my new used car. The car had set for a while so the battery was dead and they called and had a new one delivered while I was there. They were helpful they got me through the financing and I can't say enough about how great they were. They made me comfortable while I waited for the financing to come through and they treated me with dignity and respect. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a used car.

I drove from Marysville to this dealership in Tacoma to look at a 1982 Rolls Royce . The salesman was very pleasant to deal with . He then brought the car around for us to look at it and drive it . It was a very nice car .I found a few things wrong with it that needed looking at . I told them if these were resolved I would buy the car for cash . He told me he would put the car in the shop that day and have them looked at and get back to us shortly as he had my phone number . He also said he needed to talk to the owner of the dealership and he will call me in a few hours . It's been 3 days with no response. I guess we are not worth their time to even call us .I would never refer anyone to this dealership. Dan Johnson

They called me. Nice to have a positive conversation with them. Very good understanding of my questions.

Sometimes you find a car that you really wanted without looking for it. The car l drove a long way for did not work out. In the lot was a car staring at me. Ray and their long time mechanic are real good people. I love my Lincoln. Go see Ray if you need a good car.

Ray was amazing. He let me look at all the cars I wanted to see and explained to me the pros and cons. Would definitely go back to Ray

Curbside motors made it a very pleasant experience.Ray was able to find the car and Janet was able to get me a great loan.I would recommend it to anyone
